There's one sender,,, the dual sender.  It is well grounded via the mounting
strap.  Then there''s the fresh wiring for the gauge and the old wire for
the dash light.  I'd rather have two separate senders, but that 's what i'm
stuck with

I copy that tale on the oil pressure.  I concur, I'm just looking for an end
or reason other that the engine.  Appt made for wednesday at a vw place.
I'll figure out the oil pressure story. I also did my last oil change for
the engine break in a tad early....800 miles, but I wanted to switch to
15w-50 oil to see what happens.  I am going to hope that's it.  Still, with
this weather, I feel that the engine should have dealt with the 10w-40 fine.
